I'd like to make a request: please include some kind of note in the instructions, and maybe even on the product page, that the good way, other than to make a quick fix, to adjust this kind of brake as the pads wear is to move the pads closer to the rim rather than use the barrel adjuster, because the main drawback to this kind of geometry is that mechanical advantage slips outside of the optimal range relatively quickly as the pads wear compared to medium and wide profile brakes. In my experience it's pretty classic for riders of utilitarian road bikes with this geometry of brake (or similar, ie 90s style low-profile brakes) to miss the significance of this and wind up with mediocre braking, and also sometimes with extremely chewed up cables because they thought that they needed to re-anchor them somehwere to fix the problem. Thanks, and I am happy that you're making such a legit version of this design!Nate Knutsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-30636266296083808422011-10-27T16:34:34.353-04:002011-10-27T16:34:34.353-04:00Full Nelson Brakes
